Dogs Gone Sane

04/27/2024

Let’s talk for a sec. 😊

Muzzles, like many other tools when NOT used as punishment, can be incredibly helpful in keeping dogs and people safe and comfortable even in more exciting or stressful environments. Beautiful Amor (the pup on leash with Caleb) is learning that new dogs are friends, not something she needs to protect herself from. Utilizing a muzzle has allowed us to expose her to dogs of all kinds knowing that everyone would be safe even if she made a mistake. ☺️

Pairing muzzles with things the individual dog finds rewarding, such as treats, praise, and/or walks, helps to make them comfortable wearing it way before putting them in any kind of new or stressful situations (such as walking around 15+ other doggos like Amor’s doing 😎) so that the muzzle doesn’t add any extra stress or negative feelings for the pup. 🙃

Muzzle training is even great for dogs who you might not think will ever need it because you never know when it could come in handy. For example, a painful injury that results in a scary vet visit can be made that much scarier if a muzzle is needed and the dog has never even seen one or if a local disaster happens and dogs need to be muzzled in order to be allowed in various shelter-type environments with their families. ❤️

Muzzles and dogs wearing them often get a bad rap which makes some hesitant to use them on their own dogs when it would be really helpful and some sadly even demonize the dogs whether the dogs did something wrong or not. ☹️ So if you use a muzzle or see a dog in a muzzle, please keep in mind that there could be a thousand reasons why a dog wears one and there’s NOTHING wrong with appropriately using tools to help keep dogs safe. 🐶

We did. We let the dogs out. 🐶 And they were such good doggos! 😇

Nothing beats happy pups goofing around. 😍

Last week’s Tuesday group enjoying some off-leash socialization. 🐶

Did you know that, although we LOVE having so many adorable pictures and videos of our packs, the main reason we do them is so the doggos get practice holding their place and staying focused with or without distractions around? 🐶 It’s a great mental exercise for them and even helps to build their confidence and trust in us, especially when they’re posed in less-than-natural positions or on various objects. 🤩

Wonderful Wednesday weirdos 🤪 (not pictured are the *real* weirdos acting like the heckin’ puparazzi and making crazy noises to get their attention 🙈😂)

If you’re in the Menifee/Murrieta/Temecula area and want your pups to be part of our pawsome packs, we have some openings! 🥳 Email us at [email protected] for more info! 🐶

It’s been a bit since we posted here. Caleb, the page creator had his account hacked and disabled a few months. Sorry for the hiatus but we will be posting more regularly now.

I can’t decide which shot I like better.
I need you guys to vote on a favorite.
The first picture is so clean and nice.
The faces in the second are hilarious.

Is this a picture of us when we were making a reel or did we make a reel while taking a picture??

Met up with for another group walk…. Long story short, things got a bit salty. He’s a beautiful man, but I’m not sure if I want to punch him or kiss him at this point. Love is a battlefield.

I came here to pose dogs and chew bubblegum. This was taken shortly after I ran out of bubblegum. 🍬💪🐶

This was from Kona’s (black lab mix on rock) last day a couple of weeks ago. She is happy and healthy. Her family moved out of state so she won’t be joining us anymore. We will miss her and we wish her and her family the best of luck in the next leg of life’s adventure.🙂

Met up with for another walk. He’s on the right…. or am I on the right? The one on the right is a little thinner and better looking so that must be him.
He taught me a lot about being ridiculously good looking and I showed him a few new techniques with the pups. This is turning out to be a beautiful friendship.

The cooler temperatures allow us to get out and explore some trails with the pups.

The clouds were unreal yesterday.
The second picture I used my teleportation skills to exist in three places at once. Apparently existing in multiple spots in space/time at once makes the camera act up so some of the dogs look a little strange.

Head tilt Tuesday.

Met my doppelgänger at the park today complete with his own pack of dogs! It was pretty eerie but I convinced him/me to take a picture to prove there is a glitch in the matrix.
I know what you all want to ask… and the answer is yes his mustache tickled, just a little, when we kissed..
